QUESTION: Can my dentist bill me one year later after the final service as revenge for my complaint to an insurance company and Dental Board? I took a root canal treatment from my last dentist S one year ago. But several months later, my inflammation came back and even worse. My new dentist Z told me that my inflammation is all caused by the incorrect root canal treatment which was done by S. But S denied that. After that, I got a dental surgery for my tooth from a specialist..
QUESTION: I went to the dentist last week to replace the filling on my top front teeth and to replace the crown on the back tooth. He replaced the filling in my front teeth and then shortened my front teeth significantly without discussing this procedure with me, why I would need it, what the risk and benefits were and getting my approval to do this. He never told me what he was doing during the entire time he was working on my teeth. When I asked him why he did.
